3 things I will do if I win:

1. Fighting for Good-Paying Jobs - Every person in Oregon should have a chance to earn a good wage. Val worked to grow job training programs, raise the minimum wage, and make sure workers get paid sick leave. As someone from a family of union members, she will always stand up for working people.

2. Fighting for Reproductive Freedom - Some extreme politicians want to pass a national law that bans abortion, taking away a woman’s right to make her own choices about her body. Val will always fight to protect our reproductive freedom. She will stand up to any effort to ban abortion or birth control.

3. Fighting for Our Environment - Val is working in Congress to treat climate change and the bad weather it is creating as the serious problem that it is. She wants to help us switch to a green economy and make sure workers are not left out.
